(A) I have used the information on www.lyx.org/help/... it works. In detail, in the preamble: \renewcommand{\@cite}[2]{{#1\if@tempswa , #2\fi}} \renewcommand{\@biblabel}[1]{}
(B) On that page it is also suggested to in the preamble: \usepackage{cite} \citeleft{} \citeright{} However, I have not yet try it. So I am going to try both what you advise and the aforementioned (B), even if what I have got, (A), it seems to me working fine.
